Kimberly Diego is an award-winning lawyer in Colorado, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough. She is incredibly intelligent, hard-working, kind, compassionate, and punctual. If you choose to hire Kimberly to help you with your legal situation, you will be in great hands--she has one of the very best legal minds in Colorado and is one of the most competent and professional attorneys in the state. She is so responsive via both text and email, and responded to my various requests and acted upon them immediately while also providing her patient insight and guidance along the way. In the courtroom, Kimberly commands the respect of her peers and the judges because of her legal acumen and alacrity. I am so grateful to have found such a hard-working and caring lawyer to help me with my case. Kimberly did considerable research for me, and was able to spot the errors in other attorney's filings, which proved to be very beneficial. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!!!!

Working with Kimberly was a great experience. Unfortunately this was not my first time having to hire a lawyer for a false allegation. The experience was night and day from my prior one. Kimberly was persistent and pushed until we got the result we were looking for. I was nervous about the case and contacted her almost every day but she was never annoyed and always took the time to address any questions or concerns I had. I am eternally grateful.

I interviewed a ton of lawyers but settled on Kim due to her honesty and no nonsense approach. She did not tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to hear - the case unfolded exactly as she predicted too.

Kim sealed a few twenty year old cases for me and got them all done in a very short amount of time. These cases have haunted me forever, kept me from jobs I should have gotten. All of my questions about the process were addressed promptly. Relieved to be done with this.

I was charged with a felony domestic violence after a blowup with my wife that was totally blown out of proportion. Although I was probably a pain in the butt client because I was always reaching out and asking questions and calling her every day, Kimberly was patient and addressed all of my concerns. Ultimately the case resolved fairly and despite how badly it looked in the beginning I received a favorable sentence.

This was my first time hiring a defense lawyer, since i had only had traffic tickets before. I had a great experience throughout the process and she was able to get me the outcome I was hoping for. She was quick to answer all my (many) questions and concerns, and charged what I consider a reasonable rate given all the work she put into my case. I would have gladly paid more for what I ended up receiving.

Kimberly was able to clearly explain to me what I needed to do to resolve my case. Using everyday language and clear instructions I received a step by step guide I was able to follow without complication. I am very appreciative of the assistance I received

I was accused of an assault after a fight with my significant other. The entire event was fabricated. There was never any kind of altercation. Through persistence and a refusal to give up when told no, she got my entire case eventually resolved in my favor. I am forever grateful
